48 patients with the fluid colonal functional disorder used “Tu than” pill at dose of 10g/day x2 times/day after a meal within 30 days. The results have showed that after 30 days of the treatment, the symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, cold anxiety were improved. The drug was well tolerated, easy to use and had a little side effects.

In 8260 patients (61.1% female, 38.9% male) were detected HBV, HIV before operation or procedure in Vietnam Sweden hospital from 1999 to 2000. As a result, ratio of infectious HBV: 10.5%; HIV 1.2%; HBV-HIV: 2.8%. In surgeon group, ratio of infectious HBV: 11.1%; HIV: 2.0% it is higher than other groups.

248 patients participated to a study. The standards of the clinical diagnosis are: epigastric sudden severe pain, pyrexia, vomiting, especially non- remission of pain after vomiting with or without pancreatic pain. The paraclinical: blood amylase must be higher 4 times than normal level; abdominal ultrasound had image of the pancreatic edema and image of ascaris in the pancrea -bile duct (29.44%). If the ascuris is not a cause of the acute pancreatitis, the stress can be a cause of the migration of ascris. Recommendations: use of antihelmintic, use of gentamicine, ampicilline and amoxycilline for patients with accute pancreatitis. In case of the acute pancreatitis due to ascaries, it should combine with antibiotic for anaerobic microbial.

The survey of anemia among 201 pregnant women in community showed that: the anemia rate was 42.3%. Age group from 22-29 having highest anemia (59.1%). The anemia rate increased by number of pregnancies. The women in rural area had highest anemia rate than the women in other areas (65%).

Identified ratio of infectious HBV, HCV in 723 specimens of patient with HIV positive. As a result, ratio infectious HIV-HBV: 20,6%; HIV-HCV: 88.4% HIV-HBV-HCV: 19.1%. Ratio infectious HBV, HCV in male is higher than female. In 10 children age from new born to 18 months with HIV positive, 40% with HIV antigen P24 positive, 30% HCV positive.

Studying the relationship between obesity, blood pressure and dyslipidemia on 138 people (from 20 to 60 years old) who had health examination in Ha Tay hospital showed that the dyslipidemia rate was highest in age group of 41 to 50 years old (55.1%). Hyperlipidemia prevalence in the group subjects was 47.1%. Mean value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in over weight people and people with degree I and degree II obese were the same. The percentage of overweight was 7.97 % in men and 16.67% in women. Degree I obesity was 2.17% in men and 6.52% in women. Rate of increasing total cholesterol combine with increasing triglycerides in overweight group was higher than that in control group (31.1% vs 12.9%). In term of risk factors effect on hyperlipidemia: BMI≥23 was 10.14% in men and 23.19% in women. Waist to buttock circumference ratio ≥0,95 in men was 6.52%. Waist to buttock circumference ratio ≥0.85 was 30.43%

Studying relationship between obesity, blood pressure and dyslipidemia on 138 people (from 20 to 60 ages) presented at Ha Tay hospital showed that: Percentage of hyperlipidemia in these subjects was 47.1%. Average value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in overweight people and in people with degree I and degree II obese were the same. Rate of overweight was 7.79% in men and 16.67% in women. Obesity in degree I was 2.17% in men and 6.52% in women. Rate of increasing total cholesterol combine with hypertriglycerides in over weight group was higher than that in control group (31.1% vs 12.9%). Risk factors affected on hyperlipidemia included: BMI≥23 had been seen in 10.14% of men and 23.19% of women. The waist to buttock circumference ratio ≥0.95 presented in 6.52% of men. The waist to buttock circumference ratio ≥0.85 had been seen in 30.43%

Probiotic preparations of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) have been used by humans to treat and prevent the common forms of diarrhea caused by bacteria and virus, as well as other infections. To develop preparations of B. subtilis as an intranasal form, the authors studied the persistence and the antirhinopharyngitis of B. subtilis given nasally to mice. Substantial numbers of B. subtilis were still present in the nasopharynx 6 days after inoculation. The reduction in bacterial growth was similar to the positive controls. Also a reduced histopathological score was evident in corresponding with treating by ampicillin and prednisolone. Specifically, the authors obtained superior results in mice having administration of a dose of B. subtilis a day before inoculation of S. pneumoniae

Background: It is important to diagnosis and properly treat patients with diarrhea is having a highly sensitive and specific technique to rapidly identify the caused bacteria, especially Diarrheagenic Escherichia Coli (DEC) isolates. Objectives: To develop and complete the bacterial DNA extraction procedure and optimize the DNA concentration for multiplex PCR for DEC. Materials and method: 7 reference strains of DEC and 10 fecal samples taken randomly were tested using DNA extraction and PCR techniques. Results. A bacterial DNA extraction procedure has been developed and optimized. This is a simple process and does not require expensive equipment. The test result is available after 90 \u2013 100 minutes. The minimum DNA content required for PCR to give positive results is 100ng per reaction. Conclusion: The development and completion of DNA extraction procedure plays an important role in early detection of DEC in fecal samples and serves as a base for further research on diarrheagenic bacteria.

Introduction: Diabetes is a serious metabolic disease with chronic and acute complications, especially atherosclerosis. The increase of blood homocystein level is obviously related to blood injuries\u2019 in a number of diseases including diabetes. In Vietnam, blood Homocystein in Diabetics has not been comprehensively studied. \r\n', u'Objectives: The study was conducted with two surveyed groups. Determination of blood homocystein concentration in type 2 diabetics in comparison with a group of normal people. \r\n', u'Subjects and method: The study was conducted on a sample of 57 type 2 diabetics according to WHO-2001 standards and a group of 46 normal people. Concentration of blood homocystein was assayed by a competition fluorescence immunoassay, and by other experiments according to normal biochemical methods.\r\n', u'Results: The tHcy concentration in diabetics is 12.19 \xb1 3.47 mmo/L and in the normal group is 7.87 \xb1 2.26 IJmo/L. \r\n', u'Conclusion: The tHcy concentration in the 57 type 2 diabetics group has a statistically increasing mean in comparison with the normal group for both men and women. However, there is no comparative difference in the tHcy concentration of diabetics in gender and age categories. \r\n', u'
